Country: Italy
Year: 2000
Duration: 23' 30''
Enzo G. Castellari's work spans Italian cinema, from the 1960's to the 1990's, in all its commercial expressions, from westerns to detective movies, from war movies to action comedies and adventure films. His techniques and human resources, his production methods, special effects, the "cavallari", bit players and stars of a movie industry that is determined to be spectacular despite the fact that it stands in the shadow of American cinema.
"A cinema mannerist whose inventiveness and low budgets forced him to find very personal technical and expressive solutions. An original copier. Who was imitated, by their own admission, by Quentin Tarantino and Sam Raimi" (Fabio Segatori).
